"Ukraine Demands International Probe into Russian Plane Crash with 15-Minute Warning"

Russia claims it warned Ukraine 15 minutes before a Russian military transport plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war was shot down, killing all 74 people on board, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers en route to be swapped for Russian POWs. Ukraine has demanded an international investigation, while conflicting narratives from both sides continue to emerge. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy called for an international investigation, echoing an appeal by Ukraine’s ombudsman, as Russia has sole access to the crash site and has framed the incident as a Ukrainian "terrorist act."
